The gel provides a refreshing, cooling sensation and is particularly suitable for use as part of a home skincare routine or as an addition to professional treatments.
Key Active Ingredients:
- Hydro Express Complex – A network of natural biopolymers (hyaluronic acid, algae and pullulan) combined with ultra-concentrated moisturising active ingredients (glycerin, serine, trehalose and urea). These are gradually released into the stratum corneum, increasing skin hydration by up to 25% within 30 minutes and providing hydration for up to 48 hours:
- Glycerin – A humectant, meaning it attracts and binds water. It draws moisture from the air and deeper layers of the skin into the stratum corneum. It helps maintain skin hydration, leaving the skin softer and more supple. It also supports the regeneration of the skin barrier, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Serine – One of the main components of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). It helps bind water and maintain skin elasticity. It also plays a role in the synthesis of the skin’s own enzymes and proteins, supporting barrier function.
- Trehalose – A disaccharide sugar molecule with strong antioxidant and moisture-binding properties. It stabilises cell membranes and proteins, helping protect skin cells against dehydration and oxidative stress. It is particularly beneficial for skin exposed to environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution. It helps slow down the skin ageing process and improves skin hydration.
- Urea – Another key component of the NMF. It is a powerful humectant that binds water and increases skin hydration. It also has a keratolytic (mild exfoliating) effect: at low concentrations, it softens the skin, while at higher concentrations, it helps loosen thickened layers of the stratum corneum. It has soothing and barrier-strengthening properties and supports the skin’s natural regeneration.
HOW TO USE:
Apply a thin layer of the gel mask (5–7 ml) to thoroughly cleansed skin on the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10–20 minutes.
If any product remains unabsorbed after the application time, remove the excess with a damp sponge or cloth.
After removal, continue with the usual skincare or treatment routine (toner → serum → cream).
BENEFITS:
- Immediate increase in skin hydration of up to 25% within 30 minutes
- Long-lasting hydration for up to 48 hours after a single application
- Visibly smoother-looking skin and a fresher appearance
- Forms a moisturising film on the skin’s surface to help retain moisture
- Oil-free formula, making it ideal for summer use and sensitive skin
- Strengthens the skin barrier function and helps reduce feelings of tightness
TIP:
- Store in the fridge for an extra refreshing, cooling effect that helps reduce skin puffiness. It can also be used as an overnight hydration booster. There is no need to rinse it off, allowing the skin to remain hydrated throughout the night.
- Ideal as part of a homecare routine following professional treatments, or as a restorative mask after a holiday.
- For an intensive hydration boost, apply after sun exposure, exercise or sauna use and leave on overnight.
